Unable to establish internet connection over USB with Beaglebone Black on Windows 8.1

Hallo @jadonk,

I am using Beaglebone Black(Rev C) for my project. I am also successfull installing drivers for windows 8.1, then connecting it via Putty. Everything seems good unitll here but the problem exists while sharing the host wi-fi connection with the Beaglebone black. I initiated my host network to share its connection with the BBB ethernet and made BBB to obtain IP and DNS automatically. On console window I set 192.168.7.1 as a default gateway awith this following command:
. sudo /sbin/route add default gw 192.168.7.1
Then I starting pinging 192.168.7.1 but I am not able to recieve any packets but the same packets are getting transmitted. I also pinged 8.8.8.8 after doing this:
. echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf
still it is not pinging.

Please suggest me with this. I am running out of time for my project.Kind of stuck with this.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Start by reviewing the Windows 8.1 host connection-sharing setup and the BeagleBone console commands shown in the report, including the default route and /etc/resolv.conf. Reproduce the reported pings to 192.168.7.1 and 8.8.8.8; the issue is resolved when the BeagleBone can reach the gateway and an external address over USB.
